Abstract: Rehabilitation robot has been gradually popularized in clinical application for adults, but pediatric rehabilitation robot is still in its infancy. The upper limb rehabilitation robot and lower limb rehabilitation robot have achieved good Results in the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy. The humanoid robot with outstanding interactive performance also brings hope for children with autism. Pediatric rehabilitation robot may need to have more training modes and combine new technologies like virtual reality to meet the needs of children's rehabilitation in the future, and is also facing problems such as high cost and safety.

Key words: children, rehabilitation robot, cerebral palsy, autism, review
